feat: add safe state persistence and recovery for challenge creation …

Description

Implemented a safe state persistence and recovery mechanism for the Challenge Creation view to prevent accidental data loss during page refresh.

Problem

Refreshing the page during:

• Challenge creation
• Form filling

could cause unsaved form data to be lost.

Solution

• Persisted form state using localStorage
• Automatically restored saved state on component mount
• Cleared persisted state after successful submission
• No visual changes introduced
• Behavior-only enhancement

This implementation is lightweight, dependency-free, and scoped only to the critical challenge creation form to avoid unnecessary architectural changes.

Changes Made

• Added localStorage-based temporary state persistence
• Implemented automatic state restoration on reload
• Cleared stored data after successful form submission

Testing

• Filled the challenge creation form
• Refreshed the page → form state restored successfully

Additional Notes

The implementation is intentionally minimal and isolated to maintain frontend simplicity and avoid introducing global state complexity.
